Yes, I have. I am on the drupal.org engineering team. I suggest you look into composer for managing modules. Also there is momentum on building an automatic update system for drupal, (https://www.drupal.org/node/2367319) so, while things can be improved, there really isn't much business opportunity there.

Oh that's great. Thanks for all the food work.

Composer doesn't provide the same user experience that some people expect coming from the mobile world, which is the intention here. As for as the background updates Drupal Issue opened, that's absolutely great and I think sorely needed. I hope it gets pushed through. That doesn't solve the issue of installing or removing, or handling billing, across multiple sites. Pantheon has some really good tools built-in but outside of that, there's not much available at the moment.
